Very insightful SDG5 Thematic Sessions on #GenderEquity at @iupac202 chaired by Siu Yee New & @MeiHungChiu1 with keynote speakers @GhadaBassioni and I joined by Chaoping Hsu, @MustafaSOZBILIR, Tracey Peter, @JCatherineNgila, @DrJTsang, @javiergarciamar & @RozzetaDolah. @IUPAC

Heart wrenching - Sigrid Thornton is awesome as mother and is more than ably supported by Yael Stone and Ash Flanders in the @MelbTheatreCo production of Mother Play.



Congratulations to Prof. Tanja Junkers @polymerreaction, who received an @IUPAC Distinguished Woman of #Chemistry Award. Unfortunately Tanja was unable to attend @iupac2025 in Kuala Lumpur, so I delivered it to her in front of @RMIT University today.

A joint position paper from @ISC & @wfeo prepared for the @UN High-level Political Forum (#HLPF) presents priority themes and case studies on how science & engineering are advancing sustainable development and what’s needed for the 2030 Agenda. council.science/publications/h…
Inspired by the excellent presentations at @Falling_Walls Lab - Melbourne. Congratulations @AurianeDrack, Khoi Nguyen, Aaron Walton. Delighted to MC the event organized by E Schneider-Futschik & K Huang & thank you to the jury: A Wilks, @AlwisNatasha, J Graves, A Nash & R Webster

The @IUPAB1-ABA (Asian Biophysical Assoc. asian-bp.org) meeting iupab-aba2025.com at @USMOfficial1969 Kuala Lumpur campus showcased #biophysics research in the region, including that of Prof. Kumiko @Hayashi_ISSP, with whom I served on @BiophysicalSoc Council.

Great to catch up with Dr Rehana Sidat at @iupac2025 and @IUPAC president @KeinanEhud pictured here at the #iupac2025 gala dinner

A lovely bonus following @iupac2025 is that I had a few hours at @ChangiAirport and was able to catch up with Dr Crystal Lau, who completed her PhD in #chemistry with me at The @UniMelb in 2006. Enjoyed seeing the indoor waterfall at Jewel Changi Airport


Be part of an exciting afternoon on 25 July at @Bio21Institute as innovative minds from @BurnetInstitute, @PeterMacCC, Baker Heart & Diabetes Institute, @latrobe, @MonashUni, and @UniMelb present bold research ideas at @Falling_Walls Lab Melbourne. events.unimelb.edu.au/chemistry/even…

Enjoy this 2025 TEDx talk by Colleen Kelley, which highlights her vision for Molecular Literacy and Kids’ Chemical Solutions. Great ideas that could have an enormous impact on how we can make #chemistry and science education accessible to all. youtu.be/OwQfs0pIO-I
